4th deadly US strike on a boat in the Caribbean. As with the others: -in area US military operates freely -arrest low risk -no legal rationale -violates international law -no evidence of who US hit If really traffickers—very much an if—the move is interdiction. Would get evidence and intelligence.

The United States will have control over TikTok’s algorithm in the acquisition of the social media platform’s US operations, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said.

The Trump Administration's dangerous, unlawful, inhumane policies are undermining due process and putting immigrants, including DACA recipients, at grave risk. Across the nation, we have seen reports of DACA recipients being disappeared by DHS, despite their protected status.

Worse. I don’t think they realize how many hospital systems in every corner of the country relies on H1-B visa-ed physician residents and nurses to fill their rosters and keep staffing costs down.

I absolutely reject a world where the dead remain among us in the form of AI clones that could multiply across all connected media. Not only do I find it indecent, but what about mourning? It's so important to be able to grieve. We've all been there. This is pure sci-fi dystopia. 👎

Madison folks! Can you support @tonemadison.bsky.social 🙏❤️

THERE NEEDS TO BE A FULL SCALE, INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION INTO WHAT HAPPENED TO TREY REED IMMEDIATELY!

It is not an exaggeration… nothing in history compares to what is happening now in Gaza. They cut off the internet, blocked aid from entering, and are striking from the air with F-35s. And because that’s not enough, of course, they continue from the ground, sending explosive drones…

I need to survive the genocide and ethnic cleansing & starvation in Gaza. Please donate and share this post so we can reach more people.

Nearly 50 college instructors across #Illinois landed on #CharlieKirk's “Professor Watchlist.” @wbez.org reached out to all of them and found the list triggered hateful messages, threats of rape or death, and intensification since Kirk's killing. #twill www.wbez.org/politics/202...

If you’re a democratic lawmaker who won’t do the right thing in Congress because of an outside threat, this is going to sound callous but you’re in the wrong job. This kind of stuff is your job. It’s the whole ballgame. “I’m afraid” is not a viable excuse.

I don’t have a lot of sympathy for very wealthy, privileged people who are capitulating to fascism and/or staying silent because they’re “scared.” People are being dragged out of their homes and people who could be next are *still* speaking up. Silence won’t protect you but it emboldens them

"Antifa" is not, never was, and never will be an organization. It's a cause. Declaring "antifa" to be terrorism is making the viewpoint of being against fascism illegal. That includes anyone and everyone who opposes this administration. Things are about to get very very bad.

Because 'Antifa' is not an organisation, this means anyone can be designated 'Antifa', just as anything in Hong Kong can be designated a threat to 'national security'. State terror works best when no-one knows where the line is.

Excited to share my new piece with @desibility.bsky.social! It's about my experience in a physical rehabilitation hospital, shame, and, the ways that for-profit healthcare emphasizes individual responsibility for failing health - to my own detriment.

Pam Bondi deleted a government study showing that right-wingers commit more terrorism. The right cannot think coherently so instead of making their own studies, they censor legitimate ones. But don't worry Pam, I saved it for you web.archive.org/web/20250911...

👏👏

Israel is continuing its campaign to erase Gaza City by systematically bombing residential high-rise buildings, schools, homes and tent encampments.

staring straight into the camera and lying. just a despicable person and a poor excuse for a national leader.

Not a headline that can appear in an actual democracy. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/09...

Washington Post fires their last remaining Black opinion writer @karenattiah.bsky.social over the most benign comments in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk's murder... Meanwhile Fox still has Brian Kilmeade who casually said all homeless people should be killed. Its all unfair & unbalanced. Wake up.

Silverio Villegas González, a 45-year-old father and cook from Michoacán, Mexico, who was shot and killed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Franklin Park was remembered as a “kind soul” and a devoted father,” by his loved ones. trib.al/JlFHa1Z

Bluesky and Dreamwidth blocked all Mississippi users from using their services because Mississippi’s oppressive age verification mandate makes it impossible for smaller platforms to comply. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

We are now in the midst of the third legislative wave, in which lawmakers have struck back at pro-Palestine encampments and rallies. Republicans in Congress have introduced new bills that would block financial aid, student loan forgiveness, and even facilitate the deportation of student protesters.

After we learned Kirk's killer was not on the left, what did Stephen Miller say? That Kirk's last message to him was "we have to dismantle and take on the radical left organizations in this country that are fomenting violence." He stated: "We are going to do that!” Facts don't matter to fascists:

Today, our communities in Franklin Park witnessed the inevitable violence resulting from the Trump Administration’s unconstitutional, unlawful, unaccountable actions.

If you haven't seen it yet: this administration is cutting off funding to any higher-ed institution that predominantly served a minoritized group. That includes HBCUs, Hispanic-serving institutions, etc. Historically, this has always been funded by Congress... www.ed.gov/about/news/p...

Nancy Mace acting on disinformation that the shooter was trans: goes off on tirade against "trannies" Nancy Mace when the actual shooter is a Christian white man: "he's just a poor lost boy, let us pray for him."

I see, fighting antisemitism by putting Jewish names on a list and giving it to the government so they can decide punishment.

JUST IN: Virginia State University is on lockdown, and Hampton University says classes are canceled, and students are urged to stay inside. *As well as Alabama State Stay safe 🙏🏾 www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/t...

At this point, I sincerely doubt they’ll look for the real killer. The fiction they’ve created is far more useful. I’ll be shocked if they haven’t arrested a random trans woman by the end of the week to finish off their narrative.

“Is political violence who we are?” This many months into military invasions of multiple cities to terrorize Black, Brown and Asian folks

George Floyd was a father too and Charlie Kirk called him a “scumbag.”

Imagine waking up in the morning and finding a paper telling you: “Leave your home .leave your city.leave your memories.leave everything that belongs to you.” An entire city with its history, its streets, the voices of its children, 🔗 tinyurl.com/3sem5b4p

My main observation from the last few hours of monitoring US social media is that Democrats are universally denouncing political violence and calling for calm while MAGA are escalating language and openly lusting for retribution against broad categories of people they identity as their enemies.

Just thinking about that time Charlie Kirk, a full-grown adult, thought that it was really important that he be allowed to do a pro-gun speech at the site of one of the worst school shootings in US history just a couple of months after it happened. Look, all I'm saying is he was no angel.

I don’t mourn Charlie Kirk much, though I do feel empathy for those who cared for him. But I am grievously concerned for what is going to happen to this country next, because political violence never rests easy on the marginalized.

Three people were critically wounded in a shooting at a suburban Denver high school, authorities say.

We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.

The problem with allowing guns everywhere is that no one is safe anywhere.

Just got word that ICE is launching raids in Evanston, IL TODAY please spread the word!

Breaking News: The Supreme Court lifted restrictions on ICE agents in Los Angeles, allowing them to make indiscriminate stops based on factors like ethnicity.

Chicago: a huge rally of protesters is underway! Chicago, you are amazing!

And then instead of banning guns, schools ban phones. In this day and age. Because, priorities apparently.

Walensky is one of the reasons many people lost trust in the CDC, as she failed to follow the science on COVID, shortening quarantines at the request of corporations. And, she failed to educate the public about the risks of Long COVID. This set the stage for further corruption at the CDC.

It does. It says: We have the resources and privilege to leave the country and we would rather do that than to stay and try to help the marginalized people who are vulnerable.
